MP3 on the CCC was promised for September but will now more likely be a December release, so far so good
BUT, it is possible, that the hardware of the CCC needs to be upgraded! There is a hardware conflict!
Currently there is a problem with the nav when you listen MP3's. The nav forgets the route or it forgets to display the turns or the announcing of the turns, in example... Also the scrolling of the map doesn't work as it should.
If the processor gets more priority on the nav, the MP3 is not playing constantly, it fails very often.
So, if the CCC hardware needs to be changed... Currently nobody knows who has to pay for it. It is possible, that VDO is providing the new CCC's for MY06's for free, and for pre-MY06's for 400-500 ?uro. Then the installation has to be added, in both cases...
The car shown on the IAA had no trouble, since it was not in motion, so the nav was not using any processor speed... So the car from the IAA doesn't mean the solution is anywhere close now...

But when we bought our car with NAV Pro, and Radio Pro, BMW said that they will upgrade the car for free later when the MP3 comes..
It would be funny to see in the future how BMW handles this case...

[/quote]OK, remembered the brochures were available on this very site. Checked the 05 and 06 model year brochures (US) and don't see any reference to MP3
That said, there is a reference to RDS and we don't have that either on Nav Pro cars......

Our latest pricelists highlight the fact that MP3 will be available for October built cars, and sales people are even pushing the fact that they will have it.
So they better have it in October or our dealers are going to have problems

Ahh... more broken promises. Nothing surprises me anymore.
This begs the question - when is the best time to buy a BMW? Year 5 maybe?

Or simply buy on today's delivery instead of tomorrow's promises... We are talking about car salesmen right?
